Complaint Review: Talent Builders International - Tallahassee Florida

My husband was about to fall for this scam before we research it on line and thank goodness canceled our "interview". They always rebuttal that they have a A- rating with the west palm BBB. However if you go to the West Palm BBB site they have a C- rating? Do they think Nobody is going to check for that kind of money?

They file with the BBB, but if you look up some information on the Better Business Bureau, you will realize they aren't really the best place for information. The BBB charges companies to be on their web site, so if you pay you get an A or B+ in this case. So don't be fooled, by both of these companies.

As CEO of Talent Builders, Inc. in Atlanta, GA, it has come to my attention that the group in Florida accused of scamming people looking for work is using my website as a way to make themselves look legitimate. Minutes ago, an individal who called Talent Builders International (TBI) asking to see their website was told to go to the internet and search on the words "Talent Builders" to find them. She suspected that the company was not who they said they were and wanted to check them out further. Unfortunately, when you search on Talent Builders, my corporate website pops up creating the impression that the Florida company is who they say they are. As far as I can tell the Florida organization has no website. I want people to know that we are Talent Builders, Inc. based in Atlanta, GA . We have nothing to do with pre-employment testing, hiring or recruiting, and we do not find jobs for people. We have no affiliation with this Florida organization at all! Our company is a training & development company - focused on sales training, management development, executive coaching, career development and more. Also, in two rip off reports listed on this website, the keywords "Talent Builders" are being used in conjunction with issues related to Talent Builders International, Inc. in Floria. They should be removed! When you do a Google search with those words, my website comes up and the "scam report" appears in the middle of information about my company and me personally. Less savvy internet users may not realize we are not the same company. Finally, I want to stress that we have NO affiliation with this organization in Florida, and we plan to take legal action to ensure that they stop directing people to our website.

As of this date--February 3, 2008--TBII has still not resulted in a single phone call. Christine has failed to return my many calls to the Tallahassee, Florida office. It appears that my only recourse at this point is to pursue civil and criminal action. I have tried to avoid this, but now i think the DA in Tallahassee needs to become involved in order to prevent this scam from continuing to take advantage of job-seekers. I now understand why payments were demanded in cash. I should have know that any legitimate company claiming to be in business for so many years would have accepted credit card payments. This is apparently a method of preventing chargebacks from those that have been ripped off.
